A MAN has told how his guide dog has been left traumatised after a cruel mum allegedly kicked his pooch in the face before running it's paws over with a PRAM.

Jonathon Walker says his beloved Labrador Jenson was left with a mouthful of blood and has been “very jumpy” ever since the attack, which took place as Jonathon picked up his six-year-old son Alfie from Woodville Infant School in Derbyshire.

Mr Walker, 34, who lost his sight three years ago, believed Jenson was kicked because he was in the way of a woman at 3:20pm on October 7.

He told the Derby Telegraph: "We were walking down to the school and it's a narrow path.

“Jenson sat down which is the signal for me to stop because there is something in my way and I can go no further.

“I could hear a woman was getting a child out of the car, who was screaming and crying, and putting it in a pushchair.

“Jenson stood up and was a bit hesitant, and then I heard his jaws bang together and his teeth clatter and he yelped. I knew he had been kicked."

“He span round and round so I told him to lie down to calm him down. But then the woman ran the pushchair over his paws and he shot back up and yelped again. She just carried on.

“Jenson's gums have been bleeding and I have taken him for a short walk but he is so jumpy, and at home he just goes and lies in his bed.

"If someone had been taking up that space with a wheelchair or crutches, she probably would not have done this. It's like kicking someone's crutches away."

Mr Walker said that if the woman had said something then he would have moved himself and Jenson out of the way.

He added: "When I got Jenson, my life was changed completely as I was able to pick up my son from school and go to the shops.
“But now he is so jumpy, and if he cannot work anymore I will lose my independence again. I just want to do what any other parent can do and pick up my son from school."
